Biography
Dr Luc Furic is a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology.
My current research program focuses on survival signalling in prostate cancer cells and its role in the transition from hormone-sensitive to castrate-resistant prostate cancer. My laboratory uses biochemical and molecular biology approaches to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for prostate cancer initiation and progression.
Since 2002, I have received multiple scholarships, awards and fellowships from competitive schemes at both national and international levels. These awards include the US Department of Defense Postdoctoral Prostate Cancer training award (2009-2011), the Canadian Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship (2008-2010), the Quebec Health Fund graduate scholarship (2003-2006) and postdoctoral fellowship (2007-2009), the National Science and Engineering Council of Canada graduate scholarship (2004-2006). More recently, I was awarded the ARC DECRA (2012-2015), a Young Investigator Award from the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (2011-2016) and a Victorian Cancer Agency Early Career Seed grant (2011-2012).
